Today, Wednesday, has been a screen free day due to yesterdays eye rippling. I have found that what I suffered was an ocular migraine. Apparently over doing the screen experience can trigger this phenomenon. Having a screen break and blinking a lot seems to do the trick for most people and it has certainly worked for me. So I am back to blog.
My day started early as I got out of bed to take my antibiotics and then retreated back to bed with my phone to check emails. Nothing interesting but a surprise phone call from a friend to start the day. I have breakfast and attend to some early parcels that have arrived including my new head torch. A spiffing new gadget that will make things and art easier. I demonstrate it to my daughter who immediately dubs me a “gadget whore”, she might be right but I play anyway.
I retreat to the shed and write a brief letter to my son in Stockholm. I have changed into my training gear and set about doing an hour on the exercise bike. Its an okay session but a bit sluggish after yesterdays rowing session where I upped the resistance level a notch every five minutes until I had reach maximum resistance. Today I feel that effort in my legs and shoulders. I press on and complete my session.

I have to keep reminding myself that this is not an optional extra in my life, this is part of how I fight to stay alive for as long as possible in the best possible condition. Which makes the packet of mini eggs that I ate today a real luxury that in truth I cannot afford. To balance this I got the first photograph of the frogs in the pond as I left the shed post session. I’ve seen two at the same time so I know I have a population.
So all frogged up I return to the house, change and set about preparing baked cod for tea. Its a new recipe using cherry tomatoes, garlic, lemon and oil to bake the cod fillets in. Served with cheesy mustard mash and peas it goes down a treat. I clear the kitchen and then settle down to watch some football and the very funny Bill Bailey. So it comes time to write the blog and see if my eyes can do screen time again. Thankfully they can, which is good as I have screen time meetings tomorrow.
